天天开心 (Because health and happiness matter most.)
Christmas, New Year and January - over in the blink of the eye and Lunar New Year is here again. After all the partying, feasting, drinking..... I seriously have to put my healthier 2009 plan into action! And lady luck hasn't been smiling at me! I've lost $88 so far! At least its to friends!!!! So not so bad. Anyway I think 88 is a good number too, I shall stop at that.
I met up a friend recently who told me that the past two years plus flew by for him because he felt like he didn't accomplish much and that thought lingered in my head ever since. This past three years flew by quickly for me too.. but the entire period was actually marked with significant events and achievements as well. Just trying to figure out how can the two theory can coincide at the same time. Hmm I think I'm still in my "quarter life crisis". Just trying to find my PURPOSE in life.
Anyway while all of you are enjoying this festive season with friends and families, my heart goes out to my dear neighbours who have lost their mum few days ago. Their mum had been battling depression since the sudden death of their dad back in 2006. In fact I had a brief encounter with the 3 siblings and their mum at the lift just a few days back - shook all their hands and conveyed my festive greetings.
I wondered what could possibly be the trigger or what were her thoughts when she decided to take her life. Living on takes courage, but frankly, choosing to end one's life takes even more courage.
Life is meaningful and fulfilling only because of the existence of your loved ones - friends and families to share your joy, your happiness, your sorrows, your frustrations..... instead of fretting about what you can't have or don't have.. its take to take a step back and be thankful for what you've been blessed with.
Happy 2009. Whenever you want to do, don't put it off to tomorrow(unless its work or dieting).
